Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3701813A1] An aerosol generating apparatus is provided which prevents a retention unit for retaining an aerosol source supplied from a storage of the aerosol source from undergoing a temporary insufficiency of the aerosol source.An aerosol generating apparatus 100A includes a power supply 110, a load 132 that generates heat upon receipt of electric power from the power supply 110 and atomizes an aerosol source, an element 112 that is used to acquire a value related to a temperature of the load, a circuit 134 that electrically connects the power supply 110 and the load 132, a storage 116 that stores the aerosol source, a retention unit 130 that retains the aerosol source supplied from the storage 116 to allow the retained aerosol source to be in a feasible state of being heated by the load 132, and a control unit 106 configured to perform a control to increase a retaining quantity of the aerosol source retained by the retention unit 130 or a control to improve the possibility of increasing the retaining quantity, at at least one of a time of starting a supply of the electric power from the power supply 110 to the load 132 and a time of completing the supply of the electric power from the power supply 110 to the load 132, upon detection of a dry state in which the temperature of the load 132 exceeds a boiling point of the aerosol source due to a condition where the storage 116 is capable of supplying the aerosol source while the aerosol source retained by the retention unit 130 is insufficient in quantity or upon detection of a sign of the dry state.
